Only been hit once, and that was in the morning in full daylight in fairly busy traffic at a big crossing. All pretty slow but still did me a lot of damage.

The better half was knocked off on her way to work about 2 months ago. 8:15am on a bright day in bright kit on a quiet road apart from a crossroads with someone just pulling straight across.
No charges brought to the driver and its triggered her hip problems again, we won't see a penny for it from the insurance company as its listed as a pre-existing condition.

I would try and find out some stats about that Junction Andy (Crew) I have had near misses at it and now always wave at people as I approach to be sure I have their attention...

I think your comments after the Sollihull were -" pretty good reactions for an old bloke"

By "old", I imagine he was referring to "WW1 veteran old". In which case, his statement is only slightly flattering. |
